SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
[OMB Control No. 3235-0101]
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; ICR Type Extension: Form 144--Notice of Proposed Sale
of Securities Pursuant to Rule 144 Under the Securities Act of 1933
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Form 144 (17 CFR 239.144) is used to report the sale of securities
during any three-month period that exceeds 5,000 shares or other units
and has an aggregate sales price that does not exceed $50,000. Form 144
operates in conjunction with Rule 144 (17 CFR 230.144). Rule 144 is
designed to prohibit the creation of public markets in securities of
issuers concerning which adequate current information is not available
to the public. At the same time, where adequate current information
concerning the issuer is available to the public, the rule permits the
public sale in ordinary trading transactions of limited amounts of
securities owned by persons controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with, the issuer and by persons who have acquired restricted
securities of the
[[Page 20199]]
issuer. We estimate that Form 144 takes approximately one hour per
response and is filed approximately 2.8 times per year by approximately
11,500 respondents, for a total of approximately 32,276 responses
annually. We estimate that 100% of the burden is carried internally by
the respondent for total annual reporting burden of 32,276 hours (one
hour per response x 32,276 responses).
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a) whether this proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Please direct your written comments on this 60-Day Collection
Notice to Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg via email to

Register publishing a 30-Day Submission Notice.
